Solacoat Residential Benefits

Extensive testing has shown that in summer Solacoat can reduce the temperature of roofing materials by around 40°C, creating a pleasant environment within the building.

For a house roof of 150 square metres, Solacoat reduces the heat absorption of a typical pre-coated dark green roof from 39 kilowatts to under 4 kilowatts. This can result in a saving of hundreds of dollars by reduced air cooling costs during summer.

By using Solacoat on your roof, you can reduce the amount of carbon dioxide Greenhouse Gas going into the atmosphere.

Architectural Appearance 

Solacoat has good architectural appearance as well as durability, waterproofing and covering properties. It provides an excellent protective coating in lieu of standard paint finishing coat.

Solacoat can be applied to most roofing. New roofing materials will require the proper preparation. Previously weathered roof sheeting will generally require no primer.

Solacoat can be applied by either brush, roller or airless spray and may require a second coat to give adequate coverage. (see our Application Notes)

The Result: Houses that have used Solacoat, have an aesthetically pleasing look as well as providing an energy efficient, environmentally conscious solution.

Solacoat has also had a fantastic success reducing temperatures in Commercial Buildings.
